In December 2025, PM Modi praised him for having distinguished himself as a hardworking worker when Nabin was appointed as the BJP’s working president. (File Image) “This simplicity and straightforwardness are a matter of pride for every BJP worker…” Modi said, sharing the post of Piyush Padmakar, an old associate of Nabin. Padmakar wrote the post on Sunday about Nabin’s humility and how he lived frugally as a student despite his father being a legislator in Bihar. “…Even then, Nitin was the most disciplined and sociable among the four friends. If there were fights among us, it was Nitin who would resolve them,” Padmkar wrote. ALSO READ | Parvesh Verma’s ‘remember me?’ retort to Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘who are you’ remark …
